The other fights are almost wrapped up. Without Drupe to contain monkeys where Windflower was coming, some of them escaped, but the trees themselves are almost all dead and contained, with only a minimal number of civilian casualties.

Which will, of course, be a PR nightmare.

When the monkey arrives, Blasto is finishing up concocting something. "This is supposed to attract them. They'll be unable to resist following it." To demonstrate, he wafts it about, and the monkeys start struggling. Glam lets one of them go, and it quickly crosses the length of the room to be near Blasto, causing him to yelp and almost lose his balance and fall. "I'm going to make more of this and you can use it to attract the monkeys anywhere in the city."

"How long will this take?" Armsmaster asks.

"For the whole city? An hour."

"See to it. And get rid of your hybrids."

"But-"

"You're under arrest, Blasto, in case it wasn't obvious. There's no but."

"You said I wasn't going to the Birdcage!"

"We will discuss your options once this situation has been resolved and you've been transported to the PHQ, but we clearly cannot let you go."

"I won't make anything that can reproduce!"

"Get to work.."

"But-"

"I'll leave you under Glam and Lorica's supervision and will be joining you myself as soon as I can." And he cuts off transmission.

Blasto sighs and resumes work.
